OVERVIEW: Episode 205 of deconstructs and debunks the final instalment of Kilpatrick’s fearmongering series demonizing lab-crown cocoa and gene-edited cacao trees. Brandolini and Cervantes would be proud?

One point I made in the previous episode is that Kilpatrick has a large and engaged following on social media, with over one million followers on Instagram and nearly 500k followers on TikTok: He has an audience of followers who not only watch, but also engage through liking, sharing, and commenting.

What Kilpatrick can “achieve” in a series of four, under two-minute shorts published on multiple platforms takes exponentially more effort to combat effectively on a much smaller platform like TheChocolateLife, which fact is eloquently stated in Brandolini’s Law:

The amount of energy needed to refute misinformation is significantly greater than the effort required to create and spread it.

While this effort may be me tilting at windmills (again h/t M. Ceravantes), it’s a campaign I am happy to lead. Is anyone else pushing back? Bueller? Bueller?
